patsybear · 02-12-2010 12:00PM

If anyone has one reserved in the dublin area and does not want it can they send me a pm,
Thank you:)

goddevil · 02-12-2010 01:08PM

I am getting out of stock for any branch i tyr. If anyone has reserved it and changed their mind, can you please send me a PM as well. I'd be much obliged.

I didn't think this was a misprice. Endgadet reported the price would be $330:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/04/acer-aspire-one-d255-with-dual-core-atom-hits-at-330/

..which in fairness is dearer, but not much so I thought "maybe it's just a decent reduction, fair play Argos". Then I checked the Argos UK site:

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5084265/Trail/searchtext%3EACER+ONE+D255.htm

£279. So I doubt anyone will get it for €224, certainly not when they start wondering why they have to deliver 50 of them to Dublin on Monday.

I dunno. I bought a camera lens (flagged here) in Argos a couple of years ago, and it was much cheaper here than in the UK.

Padraig Mor is right, remember the Samsung 46" Argos price differential between the UK & Ireland that caused a feeding frenzy here couple of months ago.

Have one reserved from yesterday.

But I must get it today and not Monday like others.

Not 100% sure if I need it though,does anyone know if the battery will really last 8 hours ? Has wireless built in doesn't it ?

Ghost Train · 02-12-2010 02:29PM

Picked one up at the reserved reduced price

won't have a chance to look at it till later though

battries not included · 02-12-2010 02:31PM

Prob last 8 hours if you have all energy saving settings turned on, but that would include turning wifi off

Yes all netbooks (i believe) come with wifi.

Thanks to the op,reserved it in childers road yesterday evening(last one apparently)and picked it up this morning for 225 euro.I Also asked the girl who served me if I ordered another one what the price would be and she said it would be 399 euro so thanks again to the op.

maki · 02-12-2010 04:02PM

If anyone wants a reservation code for Galway send me a pm.
I've decided not to buy it as I've really no use for the thing.

Code expires at close of business today.

Hmm_Messiah · 02-12-2010 04:35PM

I have one ordered but its for delivery on Tuesday

I wonder could some one scan / take a pic of the receipt , those people who managed to collect today

Just might be useful in persauding re the price ?

Cheers

Can you order online or do you have to go into a shop?

I dont understand why this would be the case. Its still at the discounted price on the website.

By the time stock comes in imagine, offer would be over. And argos have the price on the day you pay term

Beacuse they change their sale prices every week, new "bargains" go up on Wednesday

wouldn't be too disappointed if you miss out on this. atom dual core is only 10% faster in performance tests than normal single core atoms. you can get a single core atom netbook for the €225 if you look around anyways.

Yakult · 02-12-2010 07:33PM

€334 now.

Not so much of a deal. Must have been a misprint.

battries not included · 02-12-2010 07:56PM

where you see that?

still 224 on argos.ie

falipo · 02-12-2010 08:15PM

I can't even manage to reserve one anywhere anymore. Still says 225 though.

jaceq · 02-12-2010 08:15PM

Guys, 2 left in Liffey Valley for collection today or tomorrow! (at 224.99 euro)

Davy · 02-12-2010 08:19PM

Stock seems to be gone nationwide, till monday

battries not included · 02-12-2010 08:33PM

Just reserved 3!

movingstatue · 02-12-2010 08:41PM
